Jack Grealish involved in crunch talks with David Moyes left furious after Everton and Wolves draw

When questioned about whether he would need to address the matter with Grealish, the Everton manager was blunt: "I already have."

Moyes confirmed he had communicated his feelings to the playmaker immediately after the incident, though he declined to provide specifics about their exchange.

The dismissal came in the wake of Michael Keane's earlier red card, which referee Thomas Kirk issued for violent conduct after the defender appeared to grab Wolves striker Tolu Arokodare by the hair.

With both players sent off, Everton were forced to see out nine minutes of added time with just nine men on the pitch.

The situation had deteriorated rapidly after Mateus Mane's 69th-minute equaliser cancelled out the hosts' advantage.

Prior to that goal, Everton had dominated proceedings and looked comfortable with their lead, but the leveller sparked the chaotic sequence of events that followed.

The suspensions mean both Grealish and Keane will be unavailable for Everton's upcoming FA Cup fixture against Sunderland this weekend.

Keane received his marching orders after pulling the hair of Tolu Arokodare while attempting a header.

Moyes, discussing that incident, fumed: "It was not violent, it is not forceful, and it is not deliberate.

“All those things I have said, it should not be a red card.

"Today, this was in the game on a ball coming up. If everybody grew their hair longer, there could be a chance you are going to get your hair pulled. I thought it was a ridiculous decision.e at least 4 paragraphs

"It can't be violent conduct for that. In an action in the game, how would that warrant a red card?

"People getting pulled back in the box every five minutes, but you are letting them go? Ridiculous."

He continued: “I think everybody was frustrated. I think when everyone saw the screen, they couldn’t believe it.

"I have had many times to see it now. It is certainly not deliberate.”

Everton's FA Cup clash with Sunderland will take place at 12.15pm on Saturday.

As for Wolves, they'll face Shrewsbury at the same time.

Manager Rob Edwards was happy with the point and called on his players to keep up their spirited performances after receiving a small boost to their hopes of staying in the top flight.
